LIC4B-conclusion

=Conclusion = Long Island Site 4 B had no E. coli, phosphate, or nitrate readings. Dissolved oxygen and pH levels were good although conductivity fell just short of the EPA required range for supporting a diversity of aquatic life. Erosion is not a major factor at this site although channelization has led to sedimentation which ultimately has caused pooling for both sites A and B. A moderate amount of trash was found here which is partly attributed to the drainage ditch that comes from a pipe that connects to Glencastle Dr. There is a shortage of trees along the left bank. A proposal for the planting of vegetation would provide beneficial shade and prevent any further erosion in this area.
